Was your 85 an OM 601 engine? The 60x engines are hydraulic lifters not
push rods like the om61x. Right?

LOL, my '85 190D would just barely best 43mpg and I never once adjusted the
valves ;)
Best I ever did with a 240D was 32mpg. My Jetta regularly hits 55mpg. I'd
sure like to find another gen3 Jetta that isn't all rusted out...

AND, I have it on reliable authority, that properly adjusted valves are
ABSOLUTELY necessary in order to consistently get over 40 MPG with these
wonderful million mile engines.
